It took us over a year to create this collection of billions of years of science history, and it was worth every minute.

You might have heard of the Mini Museum. We've been making these for a few years now.
There are 10,000 in more than 70 countries. Each edition is a unique collection. This is the third edition and perhaps most complicated of the bunch.
This post shows all of the specimens from this edition and you can see more at our website https://minimuseum.com
It isn't easy by any means, but it's really cool to see people all over the world get excited about science and history. There's hope out there even it doesn't feel like it all the time. People love science. People love history. Just grateful for the chance to share what we can.
